Do looks matter in a relationship?

Many people say stuff like "it's what's on the inside that matters", and "personality can outweigh physical appearance" but is this true?

What do you guys think?

Looks can get a one interested in a person, but the personality makes them stay interested. For me, looks matter to an extent, but no it's not the first thing I'd look for in a potential partner.

"Looks; attract.... personality; attach"
It is a balance of both, you have to have the physical attraction there, but the physical attraction without a spark means nothing! Gotta find someone who fulfils what you're looking for in both ways!
Yes if you want non-ugly offspring.

honest opinion :- 75% personality, 25% looks
To me its all about the looks. If shes beautiful, I can tolerate her **** personality.

WHat if she is smoking hot but is the most immature person on earth?
Depends on the person. There are people who didn't fancy each other at first and then got to know each other (say through work or whatever) and ended up being more physically attracted to the person. I don't see how it could matter too much if your intention is to have the relationship last until the end, through old age, warts and all. I don't see how looks could be an important factor then. But for everyone, I think looks matter to some degree. And I suppose it's naturally the first thing that people usually get attracted to. :smile: xx
I mean.. You can't have sex with personality.

I was with a guy who was very ugly purely cause he had awesome personality. And it just didn't work out cause I was literally disgust by him.
So no matter what people say, look matters. It's not about dating World's hottest girl/guy but you MUST at least find them attractive.
I'm one of those people who want a great personality in any girl that they're interested in, regardless of looks. That's not to say that looks don't matter to all, but I think it'd be unfair of me to expect a girl to be good looking, when I look the way I do.

Did he look like this guy?
I would not judge just because I do not go outside so I do not know what a girl looks like

Apparently looks are not meant to matter. But sub-consicenceially i think looks do matter.

Personally I get attracted to the personality but in my head i always asks myself how good he looks.
Yes, looks matter.
